In summer, your convertible roof looks amazing. But many roofs don’t survive winter without damage. Moisture, dirt and cold cause mould, green deposits and dull spots.
You want to avoid that. These are the 6 biggest mistakes almost everyone makes – and how to prevent them.
1. Storing your convertible roof while it's dirty
Many convertibles are stored with dirt and deposits still on the roof. That dirt penetrates the fibres and becomes difficult to remove in spring.
Solution: Always clean the roof before storage, even if it looks clean.
2. Storing it while still wet
A damp roof in winter storage is the perfect breeding ground for mould and black stains.
Solution: Let your convertible roof dry completely before putting the car away.
3. Skipping impregnation
A clean roof without a protective layer absorbs moisture and dirt again very quickly. The result: stains and faster ageing of the fabric.
Solution: Always apply a water-repellent treatment after cleaning, so water and dirt can’t get in.
4. Using the wrong cleaning products
All-purpose cleaners or soap damage the coating and make the fabric porous.
Solution: Always use a cleaner specifically made for convertible roofs and outdoor fabrics.
5. Thinking indoor storage is enough
Even in a garage, humidity is often high enough to cause mould and dull deposits.
Solution: Protect your convertible roof even when stored indoors.
6. Leaving stains until spring
Bird droppings, rain marks and green deposits penetrate the fibres quickly. The longer you wait, the harder they are to remove.
Solution: Treat stains immediately and reapply protection after cleaning.
